So I own this and loooooooooove it!!! But compared to your pictures mine looks a few shades darker… I believe I’m NW 25… (haven’t been to a counter to check again in a little while) Anyway… is there some special way you swatched this? I would love to be able to get it to come out like yours also.

They are pretty close – I haven’t swatched them side by side, but looking at the photos side by side, I’d say they’re close enough to just own one! It’s a toss up really – probably MAC since it’s cheaper.

I don’t know if I am the only unrepentant adult goth on the boards, but Cyber is my favorite lipstick of all time. Much imitated, still never duplicated. Fabulous with a very pale face and major eyeliner. I’ve worn it on and off for a decade.

No, you are not the only one! I’m a 44 year old ElderGoth and MAC Cyber is my favorite lipstick ever! Although I have to say, Fabulously F/W is almost the same color, a bit smoother though so not quite as dark.

Not really, Cyber is dark like this on everyone. Sometimes it can be too dark so it’s better put on with a brush, that way you can control how light or dark you want it. Violetta Davis and Iman are two very different skin tones by the way. Iman is lighter.
I have always loved Cyber and glad it’s been perm for so long! I use it lightly with glosses

I love Smoked Purple and I love this too. Can you please post a comparison swatch over your arm? Since I don’t have a PRO store near, I want to order it by telephone, but I would not, of course, being able to see the two colours together.
So, please, add a swatch! (puppy eyes!)

Ehm, maybe it is a silly question but… so, if they are identical… why there are two? o_O
Can you tell me the differences? I have to order from the shop in Milan and I can’t go there to actually see the products 🙁

I bought this for a wedding I went to in June, I paired it with black liquid liner and a grey one shouldered dress with light purple stripes in it. I pulled off a super awesome look that everyone loved! I definitely stood out yet felt super comfortable wearing my new favorite lipstick- totally knocked “Brave” right out of my everyday make-up bag!

This looks so fantastic! I am slowly and surely switching my lipstick obsession from glittery pink (how it was a few years ago) to deep dark reds and burgundies… I think this will be a must have for me! Even though I am the color of a white bed sheet, I think it will look pretty darn cool! Thanks, Christine! 🙂

Wah, good swatches and post. I really love that you explain the difference between similare shades. It’s so helpful. ^^ I have start reading your website more frequently now since many of your posts are so helpful, and I don’t need to bother asking about dupes or differences of many of your posts since you bring up that kind of questions. ^^

Cyber is so damn gorgerous! *_* I love purple, plum, berry, rose and wine lip colors. Cyber reminds me of Vamp it up by Wet n Wild (I don’t have it though, but I seen swatches of it, its slightly more blue toned tho). Cyber is probably one of my top 10 shopping-list (I don’t have any MAC Lipsticks yet :'( but gonna buy some in a few month since I’m first collecting MAC Eyeshadows… -_- I am a Mac newbie. I don’t have a store near my town, i have to either travel 2 hours with train/car or order online which sucks).
I often wear dark eyes, subtile cheekcolor and dark lip colors since i am huge fan of the gothic fashions so this lipcolor will fun to have. 😀 Kinda annoying I sucks at applying dark lipsticks tho, never get even and I am too lazy using lipliners. :/ So for everyday, I tend to choose sheer & glossy lip colors.

Unfortunatly here in Sweden,I can’t shop from that website. :/
There is only one store online that I can order MAC from. But I thinking of getting lipsticks and base products there (and get eyeshadow/blush pot pans when I am going to the towns/Cities who have it, which is currently ONLY ONE STORE in Stockholm). :/
And I cant return lipsticks back here either, the return-policies is a bit different, like the packaging must not be open so if I open a lipstick tube I must keep it, but if I got wrong lipstick I can return it. -___-;;
People who live outside europe has it lucky with the price and returning products. Oo Mac Lipstick cost 33-34 dollars here.. O.O;;
